Seeing him against semi decent defensive talent like Greg Jones and Jerel Worthy will be interesting. It will either give me conviction going into next week or night terrors and a return to heavy drinking heavily.

Michigan State/Wisconsin is usually a crazy game and last week it was again. MSU/UM is always a crazy game too (especially since Dantonio has been coach) I think that one is back and forth and very close.

Cheers. I won't be able to sleep all next week. Heavy drinking will dull my senses enough, I hope. Thank god it's a 230 start.

Hasn't MSU beaten Michigan like 4 out of the last 5 yrs? And the Spartans never matched up with the Wolverines talent wise.

They could do a Win One for the Gipper type rally for D'Antonio. Never underestimate the power of the hospitalized/near death experience for a team member for a Gipperesque win in college FB....

Coming off the big game hoopla with Florida, the Crimson Tide could be going into South Carolina for a hangover trap game. You could see Steve Superior smirking in his press conference Tuesday, & doing a knobslobber all over the Tide & its fearsome reputation, "we're so honored to have them come in here..."

What crap, I've heard it before from him & not buying it. He's still a Gator at heart & the alligator is an ambush predator (LizardState knows his SEC reptiles). Saban & Smart will keep one eye each on Alshon Jeffrey, he & Lattimore are the keys if they're gong to pull off the upset & burn Bama, Garcia isn't as scary as they say, his receivers make him look better than he is. And I don't think they can block Dareus, who is better than most 100% pass rushers with a bad ankle. I think Coach Superior will mix it up & move Garcia around to buy time but if they fall behind early & have to pass playing catchup vs. a young but Saban-coached secondary it could be another Bama pick party.

No, not even close. Michigan won the previous six games before MSU's mini-streak of two.

And prior to that 6 game win streak I believe was a completely brilliant play call of Jeff Smoker to TJ Duckett. Oh, and there was absolutely no home field advantage in the last seconds for that game either......

I wish I could somehow spend a day inside LizardState's head, just observing stuff. That's got to be a fascinating place.

That's what I get for believing what ESPN says on the air as facts.

I see Sniper & the high road without the ad hominum attacks are still strangers, clinging to the Bama oversignings, as if Saban would turn away scholarship-worthy talent just b/c it would be the fair thing to do, like a drowning man to a straw. Complete dominance of college FB right now by stomping the guts out of opponents, so of course Saban has to be cheating. You do realize that when a team is doing very well & owning its conference, the blue chips solicit them b/c y'see my peabrain friend, in college players get to pick who they want to play for. Coaches are invited to their homes for those interviews, they can only be penalized for soliciting players who are already on scholarship or attending another school elsewhere.

Players flock to winning programs, that's the way it is. That's the opposite of places like, say Michigan, where they are running away to other schools like there was an airborne virus.

Oversigning is morally empty. A kid signs on with the school with the intent of getting a four - five year scholarship. Getting cut for injuries or for not being good enough in order to clear room for an incoming freshman is ridiculous and amoral.

This is not professional football, this amateur sports. These are college kids. You know, they are still supposed to be students, right? That might blow your mind, but most of the rest of the sports playing students in college attend class and have to actually be able to read and write and study.

If you'd like to have your team join the UFL, so be it. The rules will be changed to stop this short of bs. The amount of kids you should be able to bring in should be determined on the day that kids declare for the NFL.

Granted, that means people like Saban will just cut people earlier to free up more ships. But at least the kids will know before the first day of summer camp. And the risk for Saban will be greater since the limit is determined before LOI day.
